State Senator Dan Duffy R-Barrington has been a vocal opponent of red light cameras for a while. Now he’s stepped up his opposition to proposing a ban on red light cameras statewide, and has been successful in getting two Democratic Senators to sign on — State Senator Kwame Raoul, who represents Barack Obama’s old legislative district and Chicago’s Martin Sandoval.

Illinois Review featured several stories on RedSpeed’s lobbying activities in 2009.
